A peculiar illusion brushed past her.
Carina heard something clicking into place in her head.
Click, click, click.
It felt as if the lost gears of destiny were fitting back together.
The noise around her gradually diminished until nothing was heard.
The blackhaired man with red eyes and she couldn’t tear their gazes from each other, lost in their own world.
A bright light shone behind the man.
It felt like a soft shower of flower petals was falling.
Behind the dazzlingly beautiful man, the night shadow fell. Above it, shining stars and the Milky Way seemed ready to pour down.
No matter how many beautiful things in the world were gathered, they were all inferior to the beauty this man possessed.
He was a formidable, destructive presence. The moment Carina saw him, she was unable to think of anything else.
What came to mind in her hazy head was the old fortuneteller’s words.
“You will soon live a new life. A strong fate awaits you. You will have a very fateful and passionate love. The man is tall and has black hair. His eyes are… cough, cough.”
A tall man with black hair.
And his eyes… she hadn’t heard.
Saviel was also tall and had curly black hair, but his eyes were blue.
The man standing before her had red pupils.
Carina felt her chest throbbing.
Some massive flow of fate had brought her here.
To Cafe Cardinal, to meet this man today.
Unknowingly, her heart welled up, and Carina felt like she was on the verge of tears.
As Rona had been saying all along, it seemed like the fate of having what she wanted in her hands had come back. The premonition that she had found her place to live as the protagonist of her life overwhelmed her.
That’s when it happened.
The man’s lips, which had been tightly shut all along, moved.
Carina felt like she already knew what he was going to say.
“It is an honor to be able to save a beautiful person.”
That sentence spontaneously floated up in her mind. It felt like a clear future that seemed to reach out from somewhere was flowing into her.
But the words that flowed out of the man’s mouth were completely different.
“I’m glad. Then, goodbye.”
The noisy sound of the cafe’s street flooded into her ears.
The ruffians were still retreating in the distance, cursing Carina.
‘Was that just…?’
It felt like a deep and sweet communion, as if soul met soul.
This was a first. Was this tremendous emotion felt by me alone? Carina couldn’t believe it. She was certain she had made eye contact with that man.
But in just a few seconds, he had already distanced quite a bit.
“Hey, wait a minute!”
Carina’s voice didn’t reach him. The man’s back soon disappeared into the crowd of the bustling street.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The Duke of Uter’s garden was famous for its beauty.
The Duchess, Mariella, enjoyed tending to the garden herself, but her husband Jillion, who loved his wife dearly, had conducted a major construction for her. He dug a shallow lake on the wide land, raised some parts of the land, and cultivated everything from flowers blooming near the water to plants growing in the mountains. It looked like a miniature version of nature.
Uter’s Paradise.
In the middle of it was a small music hall, where Mariella often spent her time.
But today, her face was shadowed, filled with concern.
“Mother.”
Alicia approached her with a tenacious smile.
“Alicia.”
Seeing her daughter, Mariella gave a warm smile.
“Why did you call me?”
“Sigh.”
Mariella let out a sigh before she could even start speaking.
“What happened?”
Alicia thought her mother’s sigh wouldn’t be about anything serious. Because Mariella’s biggest concern was Alicia being ostracized in Haydensha. Compared to that, anything else wasn’t important or significant.
But still, it wasn’t easy not to worry when she sighed deeply about something related to her.
“The Empress wants to see you.”
“The Empress?”
Mariella nodded with a troubled look.
“Is it because I lack manners?”
Alicia grabbed Mariella’s hand.
“I will try to learn more until then. I might not be perfect, but I’ll try hard enough so you won’t be embarrassed.”
Just a moment ago, Elishia, who had been taking etiquette classes for over three hours, said those words, holding back tears. They had bound her waist tightly with a corset and told her to sit upright. It was so suffocating that she thought she might pass out.
‘Where in the world is that corset binding?’
Elishia’s figure was nothing short of ideal. Her face was small, her frame was delicate, and her body was slender without any excess fat. They were saying that she needed to cinch such a waist even further with a corset to make it appear even thinner.
She had never worn a corset before as she had been working as a maid in the Grand Duke’s mansion. It was a monstrous object. It felt as though her blood, which should be flowing evenly through her upper and lower body, was being cut off in the middle.
As soon as the lesson was over, she wanted to throw it off, but she had rushed over wearing it because Mariella had been waiting for a long time.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
